zfs discuss - Jan 2007 - Why does disable loading of zfs module in boot causes

Hello,

I tried to disable loading of the zfs module by adding
"exclude zfs" in /etc/system.

I rebooted and got into "maintainance mode" with many services
disbaled (as svcs -xv shows).

I don''t have any zfs partitons on this machine.
So my question is: for what is the zfs module in booting
of solaris ? Why can''t it be disabled?

Regards,
David

This is because the ZFS module is required for the filesyste/local
service to come up.  In particular, it checks for ''/sbin/zfs''
and does a
''zfs mount -a''.  If you don''t wish to have ZFS on the
system, then you
should ununistall the SUNWzfs* packages.  Manually excluding the kernel
module only via /etc/system is not a supported configuration.
